5 & Under Spiel

Primary tabs

There are fifteen teams
divided into three pools of five teams each.Each pool initially plays a round robin so that each team plays four
games within the pool.Games are four
(4) ends each, with a fifteen minute break between games.

Points for the total of the
four games are accumulated and at the end of the first round robin the teams are
re-ranked according to their cumulative scores and re-assigned to a new pool.Another round robin of four 4 end games is
then played and the points from the second round robin games totaled.Points from the second round robin only determine
the winners.There is a winner and a
runner-up from each pool of five teams in the second round robin.

Points in the
Bonspiel are:

A Win counts as

5 Points

A Tie counts as

2.5 Points for each team

Each end counts as

1 Point for the team winning the end

Each point scored counts as

.25 Point

All games should be completed by playing all four
ends - no extra ends to break ties.If
the Teams choose not to play the full four ends, the points for all un-played
ends are forfeited.

During the first
round robin Teams must rotate positions so that each person plays one
game at each position.For the Second
round robin, teams can determine their own order and maintain it throughout the
four final games leading to the prizes.

If, at the
end of the second round robin of four games, there are point ties for the top
two positions in each pool, the points from the original round robin games are
added to the points from the final round robin to break the tie.If this method is unsuccessful, one person on
each of the tied teams throws one practice rock and then one counting rock to
the circles, with the closest to the button determining the ultimate
winner.Sweeping by the other team
members is allowed.

All
substitutes must be pre-cleared with the Committee at least one-half hour prior
to game time.Any substitute must meet
the guideline of having curled for five years or less.
